intel i7 10700f vs amd ryzen 7 3700x
my budget falls between 600 and 700E, i need to buy other items this month which affects how much i can spend on upgrades. i was excited about getting a Ryzen 5 3600 or Ryzen 7 3700X from the FX-8350, but the resellers in Italy already have them. the best alternatives would be Aliexpress. now i’m exploring other choices, and i noticed a local shop offers a 50E discount if i buy a 500E. i plan to repurpose several components from my old PC, including my old GPU R9 Fury. https://it.pcpartpicker.com/list/ygbZz7 i don’t have much experience with Intel parts, so i’m unsure if they’re suitable. sadly, Amd options are pricier at the same store for a Ryzen 7 3700X at 490E, though some reviews suggest the 10700F might work better than the Ryzen 7 3700X while offering similar performance and power usage. my main concern is the PSU, specifically the Gen 4 model.
PCPartPicker list includes various components. AMD Ryzen 7 3700X costs €333.99 and pairs with a suitable cooler. Corsair Vengeance LPX offers 16 GB RAM at €81.13. Samsung 860 Evo provides a 1 TB SSD for €129.00. MSI Z490-A ATX motherboard is priced at €155.00. These figures cover shipping, taxes, and discounts. Total amounts vary by source.
Also appreciated the info, I wasn't aware the power section uses more energy. Checking the specs probably shows it twice—65W and 125W.
